B1 Rep water-cooled hard to start + Does not idle

[motorbyclist]

I find the bike quite hard to start, My method is simply, Choke down, pull pull pull till it fires, Takes about 4 pulls! quick ones.

that's how i start my (large) chainsaw, put if it doesn't fire after four choked pulls it need the choke off to un-flood it

however -
the manual for my air-cooled pocket rocket, after being translated from engrish, says to prime it with a few slow pulls with choke on, then turn choke off and pull it quickly. usually works too unless something has gone wrong.

so, which way should it be done?

haha you know my bike better then I do Gadget! hehe, I am fairly certain its mixture too, the bike will really boogy I am sure I cant wait to try it hehe, He said it was doing nice 3rds and was very very competitive. I am somewhat very happy with it

I am in the process at present of sorting out the factory front caliper bolts (As simple as fitting a washer to them).. then its all sorted I have epoxy reenforced the shell around the back of the seat like I done with my last bike
